Welcome to SACBC

A Buddhist community of friends and families

In recent decades, Shin Buddhism continued to flourish as ministers and members came together to build the largest network of Buddhist temples in North America. BCA (Continental U.S.), Hawaii, and Canada are each managed by their respective members. These communities have carried the dharma forward over many generations of families, while expanding to reach the growing number of newcomers who wish to learn more about Buddhism.

The Buddha said the best way to learn is to “come and see for yourself.” The idea is not to accept the teachings blindly, but to understand the dharma by experiencing it in your daily life.

SACBC welcomes all seekers as we continue our mission to share the Buddhist teachings and embrace lives of gratitude in community with one another.

Buddhist Teachings

Following the path of Buddhism is simply living our life in awareness. There is no Buddhism apart from our life, nor is there life apart from Buddhism.
